Chapter 226 Strange Attitude
Jayden was still the same as before, but compared to his time in Novaria, he seemed more imposing.
"Mr. Wilson, you really impress me! When are you planning to marry?" Looking at Chloe and Sarah, he couldn't help but tease Ethan.
Ethan was at a loss, not daring to joke about this matter, and quickly brought up the serious business of setting up a new company.
Upon hearing about the Skyline Center, Jayden frowned even more.
"Mr. Wilson, although the Ashford family is at fault, there's no reason for them to agree to such excessive terms from the Harris family. Was it a bit thoughtless to have the Harris family propose this condition?" Jayden remarked. He clearly shared the same view as Chloe and Sarah, thinking that using the Harris family's demands to force Dorian into submission was unrealistic and Dorian would never agree.
"The fact that he made Lucian kneel at the hospital room door today shows that he wants to resolve Isolde's matter quickly to avoid more trouble. He wants to settle this, but I won't let him have his way!" Ethan sneered indifferently.
"Are you trying to use these seemingly unreasonable terms to prevent the Ashford family and the Harris family from reaching an agreement in a short time?" Jayden inquired. He immediately guessed Ethan's intention!
Ethan's condition seemed like a bold idea, but the real purpose was to slow down Dorian's pace, trapping him in the lawsuit with the Harris family and making it temporarily impossible for him to get away!
Of course, even if the Ashford family and the Harris family continued to argue, it would at most be a nuisance for Dorian, causing no serious trouble.
"As long as the Harris family remains uncompromising on this issue, Dorian might eventually agree! It all depends on what happens during this process!" Ethan remarked and smiled confidently.
"So, what are you planning to do next?" Jayden asked and nodded in agreement.
"Naturally, I want to force Dorian to hand over the Skyline Center! In the next few days, I'll arrange for you to meet with the Harris family and the Miller family to discuss the preparations for the new company. Once the Skyline Center is settled, we can start operations immediately!" Ethan said confidently.
In fact, this response amounted to saying nothing at all, but Ethan had his plan, and Jayden didn't ask further.
"Alice, are you planning to stay in Everglow City for a long time this time?" Sarah inquired, trying to get information from Alice, her face showed the demeanor of seeing an old friend after a long time.
"That's right. I'm not planning to leave Vexa immediately this time. I want to stay by Ethan's side to help him!" Alice replied as she glanced at Ethan and nodded without hesitation.
"I didn't expect Ethan to have such charm, making Alice so devoted!" she replied. Even though Sarah already knew the answer, she couldn't help but feel a bit sour upon hearing Alice's confirmation.
Having been paying attention to the situation, Ethan was too scared to speak and pretended not to hear anything.
"Alice, thank you for helping Ethan!" Chloe said sincerely to Alice at this moment.
"I know you are the girl Ethan likes the most! I thought Ethan liked Sarah, but after hearing about his matters in Everglow City, I realized I was wrong!" Alice remarked nonchalantly. She already knew about the relationship between Chloe and Ethan.
Ethan's act of disrupting the Ashford family's engagement party for Chloe naturally didn't escape her notice!
"Sarah is also a girl he likes, so you weren't entirely wrong!" Chloe said suddenly.
This left Alice looking surprised and somewhat puzzled, asking, "Why do you say that? Aren't you jealous? Can you tolerate your man having other women?"
"Sarah and I are good sisters!" Chloe held Sarah's hand and smiled as she spoke.
This statement revealed her attitude at the moment. Such a response was too shocking for Alice!
"Oh my, I always thought Vexa was an old-fashioned country that lived by strict rules. Don't you advocate for monogamous relationships? I thought such things only happened in countries with gender imbalances!" Alice exclaimed, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
In fact, Chloe never imagined her relationship with Ethan would develop to such a point caused by unexpected events. If it were as before they returned to Everglow City, she wouldn't have even considered it!
But now, the Miller family and the Harris family are connected to Ethan because of the two girls. Even though emotions shouldn't be mixed with interests, it was precisely because she loved Ethan that she knew what he needed and was willing to endure some grievances for it.
Moreover, didn't Sarah endure as much as she did?
This was no longer a simple matter of emotions or what was right and wrong.
Their relationship was more of a balanced state, revolving around Ethan, the man they both loved deeply, so they had no regrets!
"It may be a bit different from what you understand," Chloe remarked. She didn't know how to explain their complex relationship to Alice, so she could only smile bitterly and shake her head.
"Would you mind my love for Ethan? I was hesitant to say it before, but after hearing what you said, I decided to speak up!" she said enthusiastically. Alice's words left Chloe and Sarah stunned.
Ethan, who was pretending not to know, suddenly spat out the drink out of his mouth!
"Alice, I think you misunderstood. Chloe just said that she and I are good friends!" Sarah quickly reminded.
"Is there a problem? I can also become a good friend to you. I love making friends, especially friends like you!" Alice said earnestly.
"Listen, Alice, we are just friends, not as complicated as you think. I don't want my girlfriend to misunderstand!" Ethan had to remind the outspoken Alice firmly.
"Girlfriend? Are you referring to Chloe or Sarah?" she casually asked, Alice's question left Ethan speechless.
He really wanted to say both, but that would seem unfair to Alice!
"How can you say that? Don't you know how to give a girl some face? Especially a girl who likes you!" Unexpectedly, Chloe even helped Alice scold Ethan.
"Chloe, I really like you! So, does this mean you allow me to like Ethan?" she asked in anticipation. Alice's eyes lit up as she grabbed Chloe's hand.
"Of course. Everyone has the right to pursue their happiness. Ethan is unmarried, so you naturally have the right to pursue him!" Chloe earnestly replied.
Chloe's words surprised Ethan and Sarah.
They knew Chloe was generous, but they didn't expect her to be this generous!
"Are you crazy?" Sarah whispered in Chloe's ear.
Chloe just smiled and shook her head, and no one knew what she was really thinking.
After the five of them finished dinner in the private room, Ethan asked Sarah to rest in the room he had booked while he drove Chloe back to the Miller family.
More importantly, he felt that he needed to have a good talk with Chloe!
